The Successful Investor Newsletter Discount for MDJ Readers
About a year ago, The Successful Investor (TSI) offered MDJ readers the best deal on the web on their stock picking newsletter service. Now they are back again for another round!
Being a Subscriber
I’ve been a subscriber for about a year now, and I’m pleased with the service. The membership includes a monthly email newsletter, weekly updates, and access to all previous newsletters. The Successful Investor newsletter contains Pat McKeough’s top picks and detailed information as to why he is recommending them. While most newsletters are advocates of shorter term positions, Pat is a long term investor and has held onto some positions since the newsletter inception in 1995.
I won’t giveaway his picks, but I can say that he’s a fan of dividend investing with a Canadian focus, which is in alignment with my own investment strategy. The newsletter has given me more than a few ideas for my dividend portfolio.
My only gripe is that Pat writes quite a bit of content, and sends out emails quite often. So expect an email every two days or so. While some would consider this added value, my inbox is quite busy as it is.
Newsletter Performance
What about performance? The Hulbert Financial Digest, a stock newsletter rating service, ranks popular investment newsletters from the US and Canada against each other. Recently, The Successful Investor ranked 3rd out of 107 and has been Canada’s top-performing investment advisory over the past 10 years. In terms of stock performance, the site indicates that the top stock picks within the newsletter has returned 359.0% since 1995 (including the most recent crash) compared to the S&P/TSX return of 191.9%.
The Million Dollar Journey Exclusive Promotion
Now onto the deal! I’ve been guaranteed by the kind folks at TSI that Million Dollar Journey readers get the absolute lowest price available on the web. The current price on their website is $89 per year ($50 off their regular price of $139). When they approached me, they offered MDJ readers $39 for the annual subscription which is $100 off their regular price. While that was a great deal, I pushed back and managed to negotiate an even better deal for readers.
For MDJ readers only and for a limited time, TSI is offering new subscribers an one year subscription for $30 ($109 off their regular price)! This includes 12 monthly newsletters, their suite of ebooks, weekly updates, and access to back issues. If at any time you aren’t satisfied with the purchase, you can get a refund for the unused portion of the subscription. Also a heads up that select libraries carry some back issues of The Successful Investor so you can check it out before committing.
If you’re interested in this exclusive limited time offer, you can sign up here . This offer will expire on December 9, 2012.
Are you an Existing Subscriber?
While this deal is for new subscribers, all is not lost for existing subscribers. TSI is offering a subscription fee of $18 every 3 months ($72/yr) for existing clients. Not as great as the $30 promo, but still better than the $89 website price.
Simply call them directly (1-888-292-0296), and mention that you are renewing on a special deal from Million Dollar Journey for $18 every 3 months.
For those who signed up last years promotion, how would you rate the newsletter?

I have subscribed to The Successful Investor in the past and found it very informative. Pat McKeough knows his stuff and I have used some of his picks in my own portfolio.This is a great offer for anyone who is into investing and wants to subscribe to a great newsletter.

Since last years recommendation I have enjoys Pat’s newsletter. BUT…as other newsletters do, Pat does not post a date or entry price for his recommendations. We are forced to trust that he has gained 626% on BCE or 911% on Agrium. I’m having a hard time with this especially since most of them are not DRIPed.
In addition, off the top of my head, I cannot recall one new recommendation over the last year. Everything seems to be a rehashing of what is already liked.
Also, I share his overly frequent emails with a friend who recently asked me, “is there a stock that Pat McKeough doesn’t like? Everything he writes about in his emails are things he likes”. He rarely talks about dislikes.

I took advantage of the offer from last year and have to say that I do enjoy the information. I have selected several of his recommendations as well. So far, so good!
As for the amount of emails, I remember when I signed up you could choose which lists you wanted to subscribe. So if your like me, you probably didn’t deselect several of the choices. I believe you can change that behaviour any time you want by logging in and making the appropriate changes.
As for this new offer…is this just for new people or can we re-subscribe at this new rate as well?

Where can you find the Hulbert Financial Digest to check the performance of these newsletters? Is it on line or available in libraries?

I signed up with the discount last year. Price is everything and I would say it is definitely worth it at the $30 offer. I am not convinced it would be worth it at the regular price. The comments about details on when and how he comes about reporting his gains are fair, but also to be fair, he has a #1 pick each year that he hypes up. Last year he reported big gains for previous #1 picks, and in January it was announced. Last time I checked, that stock had a 30% return this year, so full credit to him for that. I agree that he has a lot of content, but I have filtered it out to just a single email per day by using his web site’s settings. Worth it at $30, for sure, maybe not for $139 though for a second year.

When we decided to reduce our expenses, we also cut back on our subscription — cable TV, magazines, and paid newsletters. However, based on the feedback that I am reading from the comments and other blogs, I can see that Pat will be a big help to investors who would like to invest and diversify their portfolio.

Here’s some free advice look at the track record of year-over-year earnings growth, profit growth and dividend growth and decide for yourself if Computer Modelling Group (CMG.TO) is a good investment.

Pat and his group recently tried to cut me off after only 11 issues. After a long discussion and an explanation of simple math, they relented and offered the 12th issue I was due.
